Knitting socks or sleeves two at a time (2aat) is, in my not so humble opinion, the best way to avoid SSS (second sock syndrome) or SI (sleeve island). Both of these issues crop up when one of two identical items are complete and the thought of repeating the exact same steps again make us crazy!

Ok, ok, you can stop rolling your eyes now. But seriously, the answer can be a confusing one to decipher so I'm going to share my experiences and a list of resources to help you prepare for your upcoming travel plans so that you aren't at risk of losing your needles... much less your precious WIP (work in progress) as you go through security.
